Best American Artist Tournament: Round 3, Day 1

[Listyguy]

The Sweet Sixteen has been reached! We are reaching the pinnacle of American artists, those whose music is played in garages across the United States. There hasn’t been much drifting from conformity thus far (only 3 artists of the 16 weren’t seeded to be here), but hopefully the third round will bring some exciting upsets.

For each of the four match ups listed below, pick the artist you prefer. This poll will close at 12 forum time tomorrow (8 pm EDT).

Here are today’s matches:

1. Bob Dylan (Minnesota)
16. James Brown (Georgia)

8. R.E.M. (Georgia)
24. Johnny Cash (Tennessee)

4. Prince (Minnesota)
13. Talking Heads (New York)

5. Jimi Hendrix (Washington)
12. Miles Davis (Illinois)

[Listyguy]

If anyone's interested, five states have 2 artists left: California, New York, Georgia, Minnesota and Washington.
Only one artist in the top 10 didn't make it to this round (Marvin Gaye).

Here's my votes for today:
Dylan
REM
Prince
Hendrix

None of these had me pulling my hair our, but the REM/Johnny Cash one was sort of close.

[Luke JR68]

Next vote for Jimi/Miles wins it!

If that applies to people who have already voted, let's send Miles on... If not, then ignore this and shame on me

[Jeff]

Next vote for Jimi/Miles wins it!

I missed today's vote, but, if I break the tie, I'll take Miles.

In that case, let's have Jeff's vote count, ignore my previous post

[Listyguy]

Miles wins
I hate all of you...

If it's any consolation, Day 2 is absolutely wrecking my favorites
